It seems your DHCP settings are not correct, option 43 using IP addresses  for the controllers.  AP needs to have Option 43 setup with the  HEX values.

To configure the HEX value in DHCP

Under your DHCP pool config
ip dhcp pool Wireless-DHCP-POOL
option 43 [HEX Value]

The HEX Value is 3 values combined
1. f1 (it’s always f1)
2. (# of Controllers x 04) So, 3 controllers would be 0C (0C is HEX for  12)
3. The HEX Value of your IP

So here is an example

2 Controllers 1.1.1.1 & 2.2.2.2
1.1.1.1 = 01010101
2.2.2.2 = 02020202

option 43 hex f1080101010102020202
